INTRODUCTION
The MS5145 Eclipse™is a single-line, hand-held laser scanner.
Equipped with Metrologic’s patented CodeGate®technology, Eclipse can be
used in a wide variety of applications. CodeGate technology allows the user to
easily target the desired bar code and complete the data transmission with a
simple press of a button. This combination makes Eclipse a perfect selection for
menu scanning, point-of-sale, document processing and inventory control.
With Metrologic’s state-of-the-art scanning technology embedded inside, the
MS5145 Eclipse has a longer working range and a wider scan field than a typical
CCD. The width of the scan line grows as the scanner moves further away from
bar codes. In addition, the laser beam pulses making lining up bar codes easy,
and when the scanner senses a bar code (CodeSense®Mode), the laser beam
automatically switches to scan mode and activates CodeGate to ensure high-
speed scanning and accuracy.
Metrologic has included many standard features such as: user configurable Flash
ROM, PowerLink user-replaceable cables, MetroSet®2and MetroSelect®
configuration, and data editing (parsing).

Maintenance
Smudges and dirt can interfere with the proper scanning of a bar code.
The output window should be routinely cleaned with glass cleaner sprayed onto a
lint free, non-abrasive cleaning cloth.

Caution
To maintain compliance with applicable standards, all circuits connected to the scanner must
meet the requirements for SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage) according to EN/IEC 60950-1.
To maintain compliance with standard CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1/UL 60950-1 and norm
EN/IEC 60950-1, the power source should meet applicable performance requirements for a
limited power source.

Cable Removal
Disconnect the power supply from the PowerLink cable and turn off power to the
host system before removing the cable from the scanner.
1. Locate the small ‘pin-hole’ beneath
the Eclipse logo on the front side of
the scanner near the end of the
handle.
2. Bend an ordinary paperclip into the
shape shown.
3. Insert the paperclip (or other small
metallic pin) into the small ‘pin-hole’.
There will be a faint ‘click’ when the
connector’s lock releases.
4. Pull gently on the cable’s strain-relief
to remove the cable.
Cable Connection Warning
Important: If the PowerLink cable is not fully latched, the unit can power
intermittently.
